The kif and tobacco monopolies were among the state's main sources of income, and in the 1870s Hassan I had allowed cannabis farming in the Rif to win political support there. Uneasy about selling an intoxicant, he consulted a Muslim cleric and in 1888 banned both tobacco and cannabis by executive order, not by legislation. Commercial stocks were to be burned in public, but farming in the Rif was allowed to continue. His son restored the monopolies in 1896.[1]
